RAMANAM
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.  Amen.

Countrymen,

ORBIS NON SUFFICIT
SOLUS DEUS SUFFICIT

There is no security on this earth, there is only opportunity.
General of the Army Douglas MacArthur

Looters want stability.  Builders want opportunity.

People Make Things Up.  They probably are convinced that they are speaking the truth, but that does not mean that they are.  It means they are *convinced* that they are.

It is perfectly possible for one not to be lying and still not be telling the truth.  Happens all the time, by all of us.  The times we do this are more frequent than the times we do not, far more!

For many centuries, most astronomers (and most theologians) were convinced that the universe is geocentric, doctors were convinced that bleeding a sick person was the way to heal them.

And almost everyone always has assumed and no doubt always will assume that they and whatever object they think they face, including God, are NOT one and the same.  But they are, all three of them.

The epistemological phenomenon of delusion, by oneself and by imposition from others, is one of those facts of life the Church has meant when discussing the phenomenon of Sin as something inevitable, inescapable and permanent.

This phenomenon and the doctrine which addresses it is wrongly described as Original Sin.

Original Sin is a misleading phrase and should not be used.

The phenomenon in question is that of intrinsic delusion arising from intrinsic misreading of the relationship between subject and object.  Namely, separating them.  Doing that, making that mistake, is original in the sense that it is a condition of existence.  Existence is a result of delusion and delusion lies at the core of existence.

What is not deluded does not exist and what exists is deluded, both as cause and substance of its delusion.

Those who separate subject and object strongly, without self-control by way of self-critical scrutiny, we call schizophrenics.  But we all separate subject and object to a very great extent and this affects what we see and how we think and act.

Years ago I embarked on an extensive labor to try to turn up some reliable estimates of the Knights Templar.  I do not remember writing out my conclusions, so here is the gist of them.  They bear on the situation today.

There were Polish Templars, of course, but even more so there were Polish Teutonic Knights, a related organization of mutual support that arose in the East Germanic/Slavic areas.

Teutonic Knights protected Martin Luther, providing him a castle for safe haven, and there he translated the Bible into common German.  That work standardized German to this day, and in exactly the same way John Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion (and here) standardized French to this day.

The conclusion I reached is that even before Templars were formally disbanded — not by themselves but by a Pope in Rome and a King in France — they had already transformed themselves into a general cultural phenomenon, away from their original purpose, which was as warrior monastics focused on repelling Caliphism.

Originally they were monks with the specific duty of beating back the recurring enemy that is Caliphism, which I distinguish from Islam but which has all but overwhelmed Islam, including representing itself as Islam, which is a lie.

The Templars accomplished their mission, alongside many other warriors, and, besides success in battle, developed a reputation for probity, power and principle in the process.

In other words, they became both trustworthy and admirable in the widest sense.  And along with that they became profound creators of technology, medicine, government, engineering, banking, art and architecture, literature, theology, warfare and every other field of human endeavor that is essential to the economical expansion of culture.

People trusted them with their money and their lives and the welfare of their families.

As this happened they left the monastic life here and there and then everywhere, married, had children, families and developed monopolies and near-monopolies of the European warrior class, banking (especially, and primarily based in Switzerland) and sea commerce.

They could loan great sums of money to governments and in this way affect the destinies of noble and royal families as well as of the peoples and countries those families governed.  And they could control huge segments of European and international commerce through their naval and military affiliates.

They founded universities and built majestic churches of a kind unseen before in history.  Their mathematical, cartographical, engineering, scientific and astronomical accomplishments are legendary.

But almost all of this was done by men and women who were in a family way, not unmarried, single monastic warrior men, as Templars originally were chartered by St. Bernard of Clairvaux and as originally they acted.

One of my ancestors, John Graham of Claverhouse, Viscount Dundee, was found wearing the Cross of a Grand Master of the Knights Templar when he fell at the battle he commanded and won in 10 minutes at Killiecrankie, Scotland.

Bonnie Dundee (Bloody Clavers to his enemies) had a wife and children.  He was a warrior (he was a Scot, who are warriors, especially Highlander Scots, who are the Gaels of Scotland) and he also was a family man.  He was not a monastic in the sense of an unmarried single man or woman, yet he wore the Cross of a Grand Master of the Knights Templar.

So Templars survived their official disbanding, even to the present day, but in a variety of forms and professions not comprising the original Templar structure of unmarried warrior monastics focused on clearing the world of Caliphists.

The Knights Templar as originally chartered were the military wing of the Cistercian Order, which is a Benedictine reform.  They were warrior monastics with a clear mission, to drive back the evil of Caliphism and reduce or remove its puissance.  In this they succeeded as the Special Forces formation of the Crusades.

Over time, even before their official disbandment and perhaps by both deliberation and opportunity, the Templars and other monastic warrior orders, all unmarried single men, had opportunity to marry or not and therewith blended into society generally.  They aggregated severally as Masons, Illuminati, guilds of lawyers, colleges of doctors, associations of engineers, artisans and artists, faculties of professors and other clergy (all professors are essentially clergy, as are all medical doctors), associations of merchants, clubs of students, intellectuals, industrial innovators and leaders, parties of politicians, etc.

They blended in while maintaining more or less a sense of having a distinguished past and a responsibility to bequeath a distinguished future.  And inside all of that, they remembered their warrior origins.

As with all such cohesion, some of these groupings into which Templars dispersed and organized themselves, and by which they renamed themselves, benefited society and some did not.  This remains the case today.

For example on the negative side, Templar descendants in the field of law are the major proponents of the lunacy, the destructive dogma that homosexuals are ordinary humans, of a human character and nature.

That, of course, is not the case.  It is the nature of homosexuality to arrest the development of life.  Homosexuality has no contributory value.

The same legal guilds, supported by academic faculties, also promote the insanity that if Caliphists are provided the same creature comforts and legal rights in a democratic society as are people who participate peacefully therein and therewith, they will NOT determine to dominate that democratic society and deform it into a tyranny by themselves.

That, of course, is not the case.  It is the nature of Caliphism to dominate and destroy everything, including itself.  Idolatry has no side benefit or silver lining.

Other descendants — and also pseudo-descendants! — plan and execute nefarious schemes for world-domination, based always on the presumption of intellectual and moral superiority over everyone else.

As the prophet says, The Lord will have them in derision.

As a theologian I am allergic to secret societies for the same reason I am allergic to anthrax spores.  I hate secrets because there neither are nor can be any secrets whatsoever.  Whatever claims to be a secret is a lie.

The truth is, there are no secrets.  God is not a secret.  Universe is not a secret, not all of it, not any of it.

Secrets are by definition tendentious and partial.  The truth, as Hegel says, is the whole and, as I say, has no reason to be and is never tendentious.

Tendentious means focused on promoting a selfish, closed-minded (and therefore lying) agenda.

I abominate secret societies.

Professional fraternities are appropriate and commendable so long as they promote the general welfare of society by expanding the skill and confidence of their profession.

However, secret societies are uniformly and intrinsically evil because they seek their own, not the common welfare.

Essentially, therefore, Templars long have not existed in the purpose for which they were formed (clearing the world of Caliphists), nor do they exist in the structure for which they were formed (unmarried warrior monastics).

The closest thing we have to Templars these days are the various Special Forces military formations of what I call the Latin Church and what others — principally at the insistence of Jews — call the Western nations or Western Civilization.

(Now Caliphists insist on dropping Western Civilization in favor of Abrahamic Civilization, meaning to include themselves as constituent part of the Latin Church, which they in fact strive for nothing more than to dominate and destroy.  Caliphism is a colossal pretense, a breath-taking monument to self-adulation.)

The United States Service Academies, and preeminently West Point, may be taken as modern-day Templar formations in the functional and value sense although obviously not in the legal sense.

The Knights Templar were the Ranger/Delta/SEAL formations of their time, to use names for their correlates in the modern Armed Forces of The United States.  The Special Operations formations of the Armed Forces of other nations comprising the Latin and Greek Churches also correlate modernly with the mission of the Knights Templar.

The several modern associations of wealthy fat people — Protestant, Catholic and mixed — calling themselves Templars, dressing up in costumes and holding ceremonies and drinking bouts, dishonor the name by not fulfilling the mission.

Only people who bear arms to drive back and defeat Caliphists can call themselves Templars, although they certainly are not required to use that designation of themselves.  Yet, whoever bears arms to reduce or remove Caliphists and Caliphism serves in the Templar role.

What we really live in today are nations comprising the Latin Church.  There are also nations comprising the Greek Church, principally Russia of course, but also others in Europe, especially the Balkans, and about the Mediterranean.

In my opinion, for whatever it might be worth, the nations of the world are the religion that fundamentally formed them in interaction with cultural and moral developments.

In other words, Christianity is Poland, Great Britain, Norway, Austria, Russia, The United States, Australia, Rumania, Greece, etc.

Hinduism is India, Thailand, etc.

Buddhism is Tibet, China (and here), Burma, Singapore, etc.

I am not sure that Islam is any present-day nation.  The ones I see are predominantly Caliphist, not Muslim.  They are idolaters of Mohammed and the Koran, not representative of the religion of Islam.  Perhaps it could be said that India, in addition to Hinduism, is also Islam.

Shinto is Japan.

Etc.

On doubts as to the nature, status and mission of Michelle Obama:

One will never, or at least not soon, find the legacy media remarking as I do this individual.  The reason is that those businesses are invested, as she and her administration are, in an ideology which presumes that black people are superior to white people.

The legacy media serve as The National Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda for any political party promoting the superiority of blacks and the demise of Christianity.  They are an organ of the current administration and congress, so-called, and also the nation’s academic faculties, so called.

In Europe this ideology — blacks yes, whites no — does not make sense, but it is very strong here and has been building acceptance since the 1960s.

It is now not only unquestioned, it is strongly and exclusively promoted in the schools, public and private, governments, churches and legacy media.  Anyone who questions this ideology is branded a vicious racist and loses their job, reputation, social contacts and possibly their freedom.

Enforcement is immediate, efficient and violent.  No Inquisition by ecclesial authorities was so vigilant, thorough or dismissive of truth as this one by academic faculties, media barons, politicians, lawyers, judges and government bureaucrats is.

The sources of the ideological nonsense those groups own are two:  (1) Afro-centrism promoted by Frantz Fanon and his predecessors, mostly Africans, who linked Afro-centrism with Caliphism, which is ironic because Arabs were/are the major slavers of Africans, and (2) so-called liberation theology, which is co-degenerate with deconstructionism.

Liberation theology (which is neither liberating or theological) is a construction of South American Roman Catholics, principally priests, professors and monastics.  It is humanistic in assumptions and communistic in policies and methods.

The Papacy and much, but not all, of the Hierarchy has fought liberation theology from the start.  Protestant churches accepted it from the start.  About liberation theology I have written in some detail.

Its career follows my own in time, starting in the 1940s and coming of age in the 1960s, and its domination of the Latin Church, both Catholic and Protestant, in the Americas at least, resulted in my marginalization in the late 1960s and expulsion in 1971 from formal ecclesiastical leadership — though I was never defrocked, so I remain ordained.

I would not follow the party line of promoting blacks as superior to whites.  I would not promote any skin color as superior to another, for God’s sake, but that is what happened via liberation theologians and now today it is taken as hard truth that one questions at the risk of life and liberty.

Schools, private citizens, media, employers and governments here — especially schools, media and governments —  resolutely represent and enforce this insanity as incontrovertible, non-discussable fact.

The other thing I would not do is practice homosexuality, which almost all clergy have been doing for decades, including those who are married with children, dogs and cats.

I first faced the demand for homosexual behavior from a professor in seminary in 1968.  It nearly cost me graduation because, of course, I refused.

He was and to some extent remains a well-known figure, last I heard a Professor Emeritus of Systematic Theology at my alma mater, Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York, a once-prominent Ivy League institution.  His real interest was theatre and individuals engaged in its rising.

He may have died by now.  He would be very old if still alive.  I am nearly 66.

The worship of homosexuality in the USA, at least in legacy media, schools and government, is now second only to the worship of blacks.  The third idol is women.  The dogma states that all of those categories are superior to the category of white males.

Michelle comes from liberation theology, which, when it arrived in The United States was immediately exploited by blacks, who renamed it black liberation theology.  My alma mater, Union, hired the seminal one, James Cone, who is still there and the mentor of Jeremiah Wright, the mentor of Michelle and her spouse.

Michelle’s spouse comes from the African corollate of liberation theology, Afro-centrism.  She and he are a mix of toxic tyranny, perfect for each other and a perfect disaster for national and international welfare.  They are an embodiment of anti-Dharma.

He is her barker, to use a metaphor from the circus.  She is a classical African witch with warlock, a well-known phenomenon in Africa and Louisiana.  Their religion, so-called, is voodoo/sangria.

None of that is visible in the legacy media.  To glimpse it one goes online to sites such as Riehl World View, The Other McCain, Hotair, Michelle Malkin, Michael Yon, Gateway Pundit, Kyle-Anne Shiver and Iowahawk.

Even these sites, however, pull punches when identifying what motivates Michelle and her administration, because they are so widely-read they could be attacked by prosecutors for racism.   Some of the links those sites point to are starting not to pull punches, however.

Not surprisingly, Michelle and her administration have just proposed a new National Security Bill which will give the administration power any time for any reason to close internet access to anyone, at least in this country, who they do not want using the internet.

ACORN, Moveon.org and George Soros, Code-Pink and many others, including state and county election commissioners are working hard to prevent national elections from happening again, and so is the administration and much of congress, so-called.  They know they would be voted out if honest elections were to occur.

Their highest priority at the moment is to prevent another national election, at least an honest one.  Preventing state and local elections in states and localities their supporters control is their second priority.

The last national election, which put them in office, was manipulated by media, state and county election commissioners and ACORN and its affiliates so much as to be fraudulent.  You will not hear about that in the legacy media because they helped make it happen with their selections and slants on stories and then helped discredit reports and sequester evidence of it.

It is a real mess we have here.  I cannot describe it better than to say that The United States is by deliberation of these individuals on the way to ceasing existence.  In its place is rising a prodigy of grinding tyranny.

I do not know what is going to happen.  I have never seen such a thing, nor thought I ever would.  The mechanisms of government, at least at the federal level and in not a few states, are in the hands of people who consider this and every nation an evil that should be destroyed and replaced with an oligarchy consisting of themselves and their circles of friends, either blacks or black-thinking.

And they include Caliphists among the black-thinking.

In some ways they are akin to a secret society, but they are not any of the well-known secret societies, although some of those are colluding with this new group for a range of reasons, none savory.

This is a secret society, so to speak, not of intelligentsia or illuminati, nor yet of rich business people and heiresses and heirs, or of bankers, although representatives of those groups are going along with this new one.

This is a secret society of Americans of mixed African-European descent and foreigners of Semitic descent (both Jews and Arabs) who share a hatred of democracy and especially its American version.

American are having difficulty realizing and admitting that a large number of their fellow citizens and legal and illegal alien neighbors, hate and want to destroy their way of life and their methods and processes of self-government.

Americans are so accustomed to thinking that their form of democracy is legitimate and unquestionable, and that democracy of any kind is the best possible form of government — not reasonable assumptions to begin with, which may be why Americans are being attacked without realizing that they are (blind-sided we call it) — that they can hardly imagine that some one of their own would think them evil and want to dominate and destroy them.

But that is exactly what is happening.  This does not bode well for European security, by the way.

Her administration is realigning The United States away from Europe and Eastern Europe, including Russia, towards Caliphist and African states.  If they have their way, we will tread the same path pioneered by Rhodesia into Zimbabwe.

Their purpose is not more than absolute power.  The more desperate the general populace feels, the better.  Desperate people cannot overwhelm their tormentors, or so the tormentors presume.  Usually they are right, at least for a time.

The basis of this phenomenon is demonization of whites and elevation of darks, especially Africans and Arabs.

This African Militant who is officially our President bears three Caliphist names.  And he is NOT a Caliphist?  His mother married twice, both Caliphists, one African, one Indonesian.

Michelle is racist in the classical terms of liberation theology recast as black liberation theology.  Understand liberation theology in its transfiguration to black liberation theology and you understand Michelle and her spouse.

What sounds like a duck, walks like a duck, lays eggs like a duck, flies like a duck and looks like a duck reliably may be taken as a duck.

The reasons his campaign did not release this African Militant’s records from Columbia and Madrassa Harvard are (1) his associations at the former were with Caliphist and African terrorists/revolutionaries, some who became well-known, including his roommate at Columbia, and his associations at Madrassa Harvard were of the same ilk, and (2) his matriculation and probably also graduation at both institutions were by what is called here affirmative action, not by merit.

Affirmative action was a reasonable policy initiated by the Nixon administration but rapidly degraded and transposed by the Carter and Clinton administrations as well as by academic faculties relying on re-articulating liberation theology into a black superiority ideology governing admissions and employment nationwide.

From Europe all of this probably looks like unreality, not possible.  Europe is used to dealing with peoples of all races and does not find blacks superior to others.  At least that is how Europe seems to me from this distance.  Perhaps I am wrong about that, but I doubt it.

Here, however, black superiority is promoted in every advertisement and every story by the legacy media and in every classroom of every school.  It is hard fact in the schools, where this ideology or dogma originated.

The ideology of black superiority is a development from liberation theology.

Probably it is difficult for a European to believe that such a thing could happen.  I do not know of any liberation theology movements in Europe, black or white.

Such a thing should not happen, of course, but it has happened here and its actions are bitter indeed and destructive of this country and that means for Europe as well.

Her administration despises Europeans.  Unplayable DVDs to the British PM, an iPod to the Queen of Great Britain!  Deliberate insults, akin to an Arab sending an enemy a mirror and tweezers, meaning, you are no better than a woman.  Arabs and Africans are world-champion misogynists.

Europeans, especially English-speaking ones, are slavers.  That is how her administration sees Europeans.  Slavers.  That is all.  Fit for destruction.

Were the Russians to roll across Poland or Hungary, there would be no protest from her administration.  Their sympathies are with Caliphists, including Turks, Iranians and Arabs, and Africans.  The African tribe of this African Militant is Luo, who are principally Shiite and aligned with Iran.  So are this African Militant and the spouse driving him in the White House.

Their intent is not to foster The United States, it is to obliterate her self-rule and rule her absolutely, as per Zimbabwe.  They do not care how far the economy collapses, nor the world economy, so long as they are in charge of it all.

We are in trouble here, and for that reason so is every country comprising the Latin Church and every other religion.  The enemy is in the house with his hands on the keys and switches.

It is still the case that most Americans have not allowed themselves to face this fact, although it is surprising how many in just three months have.  One really does have to rely on God and tell the bastards to shut up and behave themselves at every opportunity one encounters — and do one’s best to expel them from the national trust.

For what is worth, the complete portal for my participation on the web is here.

This entry is long and perhaps rambling, certainly expressing my condemnation of what has overtaken this homeland.  Please discount passions as you find them, and as we say take it with a grain of salt, meaning, with a solid sense of its potential unreality, as you feel appropriate.
